ABOUT US
Hey! Thank you for visiting our page. Before delving into the story behind The Sugar Lab, I would like to share a little about me. I'm a science graduate and currently work as a research scientist working for a pharmaceutical company.
​
As salons began closing due to lockdown, I first turned to purchasing different hair removal products to be used at home. However, I was never fully satisfied with the end results. I then turned to my mum’s natural sugar waxing recipe and absolutely loved the results. I loved the silky-smooth feeling that lasted even after two weeks! Let’s just say, I am never looking back!
​
I then decided to use my lab research experience to optimise the technique and quantities. We created both a strip and firm wax and shared it with family and friends. Once the testing phase was complete and after gathering plenty of feedback and support, we launched The Sugar Lab!
​
Here at The Sugar Lab we make our products in small batches with natural ingredients. We pride ourselves on using all-natural, non-toxic ingredients (no preservatives, parabens or chemicals). Everything we do is done with care and love, aiming for the lowest impact on the earth’s resources.

WHAT IS SUGAR WAX?
Sugar waxing (or sugaring) is an all-natural ancient hair removal technique that removes hair from the follicle. Our organic sugar wax is formulated with only 3 natural ingredients: sugar, water, and lemon juice – completely free from any chemicals. It leaves your skin feeling and looking smooth.
​
At The Sugar Lab we have optimised the production protocol and offer two types of sugar waxing methods for easy hair removal: Firm Wax and Strip Wax.
​
FIRM SUGAR WAX
​
Firm sugar wax is the traditional sugaring method used without strips. The paste is applied by hand against the direction of hair growth and is removed in the same direction.
​
STRIP SUGAR WAX
​
Strip sugar wax is designed for use with strips. The thin layer of the paste is applied in the same direction as hair growth and removed against it.
​
BENEFITS OF SUGAR WAX
1. Pure and Natural Ingredients
The sugar wax made at The Sugar Lab only contains 3 ingredients: sugar, lemon and water (it’s edible and all natural!). No chemicals or toxins.
​
2. Sugar only sticks to dead cells and reduces irritation
Sugar paste is water soluble and does not stick to live skin cells. The sugaring paste only sticks and removes hair and dead skin cells. This results in less irritation whilst acting as an exfoliant, leaving your skin soft and silky-smooth.
3. Reduces ingrown hairs
Ingrown hairs cause irritation to the hair follicle. Sugar paste offers additional exfoliation which reduces ingrown hairs. Due to its water-soluble properties, sugar paste is easily removed and does not block the open hair follicles after the treatment.
​
4. Reduces breakage and damage to hair follicles.
The sugar paste penetrates the hair follicle and lubricates it. Once the wax is removed, less pressure is applied to the hair shaft, resulting in less painful hair removal and less hair breakage.
​
5. Low temperatures and no risk of burning.
Sugar wax is applied luke-warm therefore there is no risk of skin burn.
